Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Elsa looked at the laboratory before her; it was the entrance to the national secret research base she had once visited with Tina. A slight smile played at her lips as she pressed the switch on the remote control. A gust of wind passed, but nothing happened. Elsa, in disbelief, pressed the button a few more times, her expression suddenly changing. Abruptly, she drew a gun from her waist and spun around. Tina, Jared, and a confused Hayden appeared behind her. Elsa was not panicked; instead, she possessed a hint of composed indifference.

“Indeed, you’re not someone who falls for tricks easily,” Elsa said, holding the gun in one hand and discarding the useless remote with the other. She looked at Tina with a momentary regret. “If only you had sided with us, we would have succeeded long ago.”

Tina, with arched brows and a radiant smile, responded, “Your disguise skills are too poor, Mr. White.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The exposed Mr. White shrugged indifferently, not bothering to remove the mask on his face. “When did you realize it was me?”

Tina pondered, “Probably when I found out about Jasper?”

With a snicker, she added, “You were too foolish.”

Mr. White frowned slightly. “Impossible, I never met you when you exposed Jasper!”

Tina laughed aloud. “Just once, isn’t that enough?”

Mr. White’s pupils contracted, still confused. Before impersonating Elsa to approach Tina, she had extensively researched Elsa’s habits, supported foolishly by Heath. She knew everything about Elsa’s lifestyle, from her catchphrases to her subtle facial expressions and minor movements – details not even Jennie, her mother, noticed. How could Tina, who had only met Elsa once, have noticed?

Seeing Mr. White’s expression, Tina knew she still hadn’t figured it out. She glanced at Jared with a hint of exasperation. “Uncle, I told you they aren’t fun.”

Jared tenderly rubbed Tina’s head. “You’ve worked hard, Tina.”

Hayden chimed in, clearly annoyed, “Can we be serious? Aren’t we on a mission? What’s with the lovey-dovey act!”

Mr. White bit down hard on his molars. “Tina, that’s enough from you.”

Tina’s eyebrows furrowed, and she swiftly threw a silver needle.

Mr. White instantly lost control of his legs and fell to the ground, unable to move. “When I’m talking to Uncle, don’t interrupt; it makes me unhappy,” Tina said, her eyes flashing coldly, making her already enchanting face appear even more icy.

Mr. White clenched the gun in her hand but knew better than to shoot. Neither Tina, Jared, nor Hayden could be easily defeated. In such an open space, a trained individual could easily dodge bullets, and even if hit, Mr. White knew the outcome would not be favorable. Now with her legs incapacitated, escape was even less likely. The gun remained un-fired; she had to wait for the right moment.

Jared, noticing her hesitation, smiled slightly. “Mr. White, you didn’t really think you’d have a chance to pull the trigger, did you?”

Mr. White paused, realizing her fingers felt nothing. Glancing at Tina’s smug face, she understood. She had been drugged, completely unable to resist.

Just then, Jared’s phone beeped with a message from Nathan: “Vital signs stable, no toxins, contact with organization established.”

Jared pocketed his phone. “Hayden, wrap it up.”

Unable to contain himself any longer, Hayden stepped forward and pressed the defenseless Mr. White to the ground, clapping handcuffs on her wrists. Since the incident with Jasper, he had learned his lesson.

“Bring the handcuffs with you!”

“Mr. White, Serena can read bones. No matter how you disguise yourself, you can’t escape my eyes, Serena. Did you really think you were flawless?”

When Hayden mocked him, Mr. White froze.

No wonder.

He had thought his disguise was perfect; how could Tina have possibly spotted him so easily?

He had forgotten that Tina was a disciple of Master Tam.

Master Tam’s greatest skill was face reading.

But they had investigated Tina extensively; she did not read faces, nor had she ever done so for anyone.

Why then could she see through him by reading his bones?

He looked up at Tina and slowly smiled, “It’s tough to have played along with me for so long. It seems we still need to improve our disguise techniques.”

Tina shook her finger, “No matter how good your technique, you can’t fake the gentleness in Elsa’s eyes. The face reflects the heart.”

She could read faces, even surpassing her master in skill.

Her master always said she was a rare genius, but unfortunately-her celestial eye was sealed.

Until she turned twenty-five, she could not read faces for others without risking her life.

Over the years, she heeded her master’s advice and refrained from face reading.

However, she could read bones, which was unrelated to Taoist teachings and purely based on the shape of a person’s bones.

Due to some circumstances, she could not often read bones.

So, when Callum Maguire and Snow Judd came along, she didn’t use bone reading; their disguise was simply too poor, and she saw right through them.

As for Mr. White-his disguise was indeed masterful, and at first glance, she did not recognize him as a fake.

It was only when Mr. White made an unintentional gesture that she noticed and decided to read his bones.

Mr. White narrowed his eyes and said no more.

The agents from the agency surrounded him and escorted Mr. White to the police car.

Hayden rubbed his wrist, “Serena, you’re truly amazing. How did you know she would come here?”

Tina looked at Hayden as if he were a fool, “Vivienne is a partner of GTO. She would notify Mr. White immediately if there were any issues. Mr. White isn’t foolish enough to walk into a trap like Vivienne. He came here to try and kill me and destroy all evidence.”

This experimental base was temporarily requisitioned by GTO, but the materials inside were a mix of real and fake.

They wanted to use her to develop a virus they desired, gradually probing using Elsa’s connection.

Unfortunately, they underestimated her sensitivity to numbers; those reports, no matter how exquisitely crafted, could not escape her scrutiny.

And her understanding of Elsa.

Though she had only met Elsa once, she always remembered the gentleness in Elsa’s expression, reminiscent of Jennie’s.

This was something not even the most sophisticated disguise techniques could achieve.

As she said, the face reflects the heart.

“Vivienne working with GTO is truly unexpected,” Hayden, who had always disliked Vivienne, always felt she hid too much.

But he hadn’t expected her to cooperate with GTO.

She dared to touch anything.

“It’s not surprising,” Tina smiled, “She was behind the original Crimson Silk.”

Hayden gasped, “What! The poison on Sophia was administered by Vivienne?”

Jared’s narrow eyes squinted, “Yes.”

For many years, he had coexisted peacefully with Vivienne, maintaining a good sibling relationship within the Farrell family.

But in reality, it was just a superficial relationship with not much interaction.

Tina’s expression darkened, “She still has a sample of Crimson Silk, whereabouts unknown.”

Jared’s eyes sharpened, “Let’s go back first.”
